countdown to Christmas!

It is now the 7th of December and only 18 more days until Christmas!  I can't wait and officially my music selection consists only of Christmas tunes (of course).  Not only 18 days until Christmas, but less than 2 weeks until I get to come home.  I have all of my Christmas shopping done already.  This is the first year that I have been on top of my shopping and maybe that is because I have more than enough time on my hands.  I walk around town almost everyday and have a lot of time to think what to get everyone.  However, the downfall is that shopping in Umea/Europe/Sweden is extremely more expensive than at home.  I don't know how much money I will be bringing home from playing basketball because let's just face it; I love to shop. :)  It has been fairly warm the last week or so: in the +20 degrees F average.  Well, I hope everyone is enjoying their Decembers and getting everything done before the holidays.  Good luck to everyone on finals and schoolwork!

God Jul!
